Far-right populist emerges as top vote-getter in Argentine presidential primaries

Far-right populist Javier Milei won the largest share of votes in Argentina's open presidential primaries.
Milei advocates controversial policies like abolishing the central bank, dollarizing the economy, expanding gun rights, and legalizing organ sales.
Milei's success reflects widespread discontent with the political establishment and a desire for major change.
His rise adds uncertainty around Argentina's economy and financial markets due to his unorthodox policy proposals.
Milei is now a leading contender ahead of October's presidential election, which will likely go to a runoff vote in November.
